“One radiant energy pervades and gives rise to all life. While it may speak to us through plants, nature spirits or the human beings with whom we share life on this planet, all are reflections of the deeper reality behind and within them.”

So begins the The Findhorn Garden Story - an updated re-release of the history of the garden, relayed through narratives by its founders and some present-day gardeners. This is a story of communication with all types of “unseen” beings and the humans who, in cooperation with “nature spirits” work together to consciously create great beauty and abundance.

Giant vegetables, enormous fruit and unique flowers are miraculously grown on a plot of poor, sandy soil in a remote, barren area of Scotland. Findhorn beautifully illustrates the wisdom of surrendering one’s ego to the Divine, going with the flow – even when it does not make any sense at all – and following “not my will, but thy will be done.” Whether one gardens or not, this book offers a delightful and inspirational journey.
